WRIGHT

Hailed as the "father of skyscrapers," Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), an inherently American icon, was an aspiring architect.

He believed that cultured American society should have a suitable architectural equivalent and applied his idealism to structures across the continent, from houses in residential areas to churches, offices, skyscrapers and the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York.

By studying Wright's aspirations to strengthen American society through architecture, this book provides a brief introduction to his response, both romantic and technological, to the practical challenges posed by the American middle class.
